Drink now, it's still a beauty of a wine but I think it's a bit past it's peak.

16/20 (90/100)

Цвет рубиновый, достаточно темный. Аромат сливовый, яблоки, вишня, пекарские пряности, кардамон, имбирь, чуть сладковато. Вкус черносливовый, фруктовый, очень пряный и несколько алкогольный. Послевкусие пряное, умеренное. В развитии очень ванильное.

17.5/20 (94/100) Красивый аромат с землистыми и бальзамическими нотами, тонами черничного и ежевичного варенья. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и довольно интенсивными, замшевыми танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Шикарно.

Nice layers but less structure than expected. Great accompaniment for BBQ.

Great reasonably priced Brunello at Artisan in Southport, CT. 200% markup seemed like a steal. Ate with gnocchi lamb bolognese. Fantastic pair!

Very drinkable, the longer it breathes, the better.
